Disclaimer: You've heard it all before. In this chapter, Vincent shows off
another skill of the Dragon Demon tribe. Vincent's abilities come from the
Ryu's in Breath of Fire Four. If you are confused with my Vincent. taking
part in the activities around him, such as throwing snowballs at Cid and
making jokes, this is when I started to replay FF 7 for ideas. I discovered
that Vincent does usually have a bit to say, and does make some pretty
funny comments. , Instead of being the 'International man of silence as
quite a few people make him out to be."
The massive Griffin landed in front of Vincent and Cid, growling loudly.
"Its to strong!" Cid shouted. "We can't defeat it. we need more strength!"
"I'm on it!" Vincent said, he closed his eyes and began concentrating. A bright light surrounded him and when it dropped, his wings, hair and eyes had changed colour. His wings were blue, as was his eyes, and his hair had turned white.
"$£^%£!" Cid shouted as 'Vincent' cast a water spell onto his opponent, knocking it down. "What on earth is that?"
A bright light surrounded Vincent again, and then dropped. Vincent had transformed back into his original self.
"I can concentrate powers of certain dragons, and use their abilities in battles. It boosts my attacking and defending abilities." Vincent explained with a smile. "I can't remain in that form, it takes up MP, the stronger the Dragon, the more MP it takes to remain in the form. That was Aura, one of the weakest, I can stay in that form for up to seventeen battle turns, then I'll revert back automatically.

Cloud was testing out his new weapon. It was extremely powerful, and deadly. Included in every attack was an icy magic attack that took up no MP.
"It's incredible!" Cloud said. "I will be able to defeat anything with it!"
"And there is a weapon hidden for each of us." Barret said with a smile." Each of us will get a weapon made by a God or Goddess!"
"I know!" Yuffie said, spinning her daggers in he hands, before holstering them.
* * *
Aeris and her group made it onto the Fiery Meadows and smiled
"Feel that warmth!" she said.
"Be glad you have white wings.," Vincent said to her. "These ones suck in heat like it's going out of fashion."
Aeris laughed and took another step forward. She gasped, standing on a red metal stick. Engraved on it were the words 'Rising Sun'
"Young Angel." A voice said. "You have discovered the Rising Sun, the rod that can control fire. You must defeat the God of Darkness. the other Gods and Goddesses have created weapons. As you journey, you will each find one."
Aeris smiled and bowed.
"Thank you." she said, throwing her old weapon to the floor and holstering her new one. "We will do our best."
* * *
Half a day had passed and Aeris and her group stepped onto the Healing Plains. The natives walked out to meet them.
"Welcome to the Healing Plains!" a man, said with a smile. "You have travelled far, and this is a rest stop for those who travel." he looked at each member in turn. "Vincent! Good to see you again!"
"You know them?" Aeris asked in shock.
"Yes, we know Vincent. We found him a few miles from this place; he was only around nine at the time. He was injured, weak, ill and had know where to go." The man explained. "We had sworn to help all creatures in need, and even though he is a demon, the rules still stand."
"Come on Vincent." Cid said. "Since you've been here, show me the nearest pub!"
Vincent shook his head.
"Alright then, but they only sell not alcoholic drinks." Vincent answered.
"*&^%(!" Cid swore. "*^*+"
"Cid!" Shera said angrily. "Enough with the cursing. I'm going to the bookstore to buy a book on white magic. Vincent try to keep him out of trouble."
"I will." Vincent answered with a nod.
They all parted ways, agreeing to met up in the inn breakfast hall at nine the next morning.
* * * "So. do you know about Vincent's past?" Aeris asked the man who was mixing up some herbs for a magic potion.
"Yes. he had been badly wounded by the demon tribe. The demon tribe was highly jealous of the abilities of the Dragon Demons, so they massacred the tribe, and took the survivor's prisoner. Vincent was among them. They tried to use the prisoners to discover the secret behind their abilities; they tortured them, killed them, and abused them in every way. Vincent saw his entire family be killed, at the hands of the demons, he witnessed his entire tribe be slaughtered. He escaped, how. nobody knows. he reached the Floating Stepping-stones, across the bottomless pit, and collapsed. We found him a few days later and brought him back to help him. We thought he was a demon to begin with, but slowly learnt he wasn't, he was a Dragon Demon, and the only surviving one.." The man put his wooden spoon down. "Vincent left this place, in order to find more of his kind, that was four years ago. we have no idea what has happened to him in this time. We are just glad he has found friends."
Aeris nodded, unable to believe what her friend had been through, and how he got the scares.
* * *
Yuffie cursed as she stumbled onto the Fiery Plains.
"Hey, the other group has already been through!" she said, "They've left a note. we were here at 2:01! They'll be at the Healing Plains by now! We won't reach there until tomorrow! We'll have to camp out here!" she sighed as Barret and Reeve came closer.
"Oh it won't be too long." He said with a smile. "Sure they reached the meeting point before us, and sure they'll get to rest tonight. There ain't nothing to do there!"
Yuffie scowled "Yeah, but Tifa and Aeris get to hang around with the cute Dragon Demon."
"Demons look handsome to entice people!" Cloud almost shouted." You cannot trust them! They are deceiving creatures who are out to destroy everything!" he held his sword in a attacking pose "And I will kill him when he least expects it."
* * *
Cid grumbled as he followed Vincent back to the inn. The dragon demon's wings were moving gently in the wind.
"I can't believe there was no booze!" he said angrily, causing the raven- haired man to turn and look at Cid.
"This is an area of health, they don't sell cigarettes or alcohol within the city walls." Vincent explained, to the angry wizard. "We'd better get some sleep."
* * *
"Demon!" Cloud shouted, spotting the raven-haired man standing by the city gates, waiting of the others to be prepared to leave. "You travel no further with us. Leave us be and go on your way!"
He went into an attacking position. Barret pulled both Tifa and Aeris out of the way, and Yuffie did the same to Shera. The others stood back, unable to believe Cloud was going to attack the Dragon Demon.
* * *
Cloud ran forward, and swung his sword at Vincent, who neatly jumped backwards, avoiding the pure white blade. Cloud took another swipe, managing to hit Vincent's left wing, causing a bloody cut to appear. Vincent took a step back, wincing in pain.
'I guess I'll have to fight back.' he thought gritting his teeth, before calling on a weak fire spell.
Cloud shouted angrily as the flame burnt around his body, causing only slight burns.
'Why hasn't he attacked me yet?" Cloud asked himself. 'Why isn't he fighting back?' he lashed out again, hitting the raven-haired demon in the shoulder.
Vincent hissed in pain, as the blood ran freely down his back and wings, caking them in sticky blood. He let lose a ball of Dragon fire, forcing Cloud to run back a few steps.
"Vincent!" Aeris shouted "Cloud! Stop it!"
Vincent growled under his breath and turned to walk from the fight, he reached an empty plain, summoned a Dragon and climbed onto its back.
"That's right!" Cloud said with a sneer. "Run away Demon! You are a coward!"
* * *
Aeris watched sadly as the Dragon disappeared into the clouds. He was gone, along with the raven-haired man. She turned to Cloud who was still laughing.
"Cloud!" she snapped. "What had he done?"
"He's a demon Aeris! A creature everyone should hate. Why do you care about him? Demons slaughtered the Angel tribe a long time ago. You should hate him for that!"
Aeris looked Cloud in the eyes, he green ones glowing with anger.
"He did not hurt my tribe!" she snapped. "He did nothing to my tribe! Vincent did nothing to anyone! The only connection he has with the Demon tribe, is being their prisoner for three years! They killed his family and tribe as well! The only difference is Vincent is alone! He has nobody to relate to!" she burst into tears and ran towards the inn, followed by Tifa and Shera.
"£&&(" Cid said hotly "Vincent is a friend. He helped us; he has shown no reason for us to hate him. If it weren't for him, we'd be dead Cloud! The Guardian of the Mountain attacked us. Vincent helped us to kill it!"
Cid stalked off back to the bar.
Cloud scratched his head, unable to believe his comrades were siding with the Dragon Demon. He turned to Red who was stretching.
"Why?" he asked.
"Because looks can be deceiving Cloud." Red XIII answered before walking towards the inn.
Another chapter in the can! Wow, I actually managed to keep this going for longer then a week!!! * Jumps up and down for joy *
